Chess tree variation visualizer

Post by Karlo Bala »

Is there any free or commercial chess tree variation visualizer? I heard of "Chant" but I don't know where to find it.

Doesn't SCID do that?

WinBoard 4.5.0 allows you to walk variation trees (read from PGN), playing the out on the board, but s seems SCID has a more user-friendly interface, displaying the game (which WB has in the move-history window) in tree form, so you can click on the variant there that you want to navigate to.

This is the paper I wrote about it:

Thank you H.G. & Rémi for utilities and paper!
I'm getting a clue now what utilities should look like.
